New Orleans or Busk!

June 14, 2011

Closet exhibitionists, let’s kick it up a notch! In Los Angeles, we planted the Type Busking seed … in N’awlins we’ll grow the beanstalk! The street performance capital of the US will witness something unique: typeface designers flaunting their mad skills, showing the public at large that fonts are not only made by people, they’re made by people with moxie.

Got a laptop? Bring it along and get cozy in historic Jackson Square — whipping those béziers into shape and kerning ’til the Li-ion sleeps. Got a hat? Lay it down and make some clams the old-fashioned way — performing. Got guts? Oh yeah, we should’ve asked that first.

This year’s impromptu typographic performance is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, July 9th. Stay tuned for additional details.
